look, the last thing the fbi needs is some hyper-partisan congressman trying to take the fbi's action, the fbi employees and trying to make it into a one side versus the other sort of organization. you know, look in defense of the fbi the fact of the matter is really complex investigations and prosecutions of the oath keepers, of the proud boys have taken place with fbi investigators working the doj and have been successfully prosecuted involving investigations all across the united states. so by and large the vast majority of the fbi is doing their job without fear or favor and just pursuing the facts wherever they lie. the problem is the fbi is a large organization, and with 35,000 people you're going to find people on both extremes. and so when you get people like congressman jordan who selects these people who are on the far right with really outrageous behaviors, that to lose your clearance, to have it revoked -- not suspended but revoked, gone forever, you have to really engage in some rather extraordinarily dangerous behavior. and for jim jordan to take those people, to take th

this should have been a clue, by the way, when an fbi agent -- when you teld an fbi agent i don't remember, maybe, and he repeats to you almost verbatim the conversation you may have had and then you still say, maybe. i don't remember, possibly. that should have been a big clue that they've got you, they've got the conversation. so was protocol followed? yes, for a high-level official, absolutely. do you memory andize someone when there's sitting in your office? no, you do not. do you have to warn them it's a crime to lie to the fbi? absolutely not. this business of challenging them on the grounds of protocol not being followed is nonsense. >> retiring member of congress, trey gowdy, questioned now the former director of the fbi, james comey, about this exactly. put up a piece of this transcript. mr. gowdy to mr. comey -- why not advise general flynn of the consequences of making false statements to the fbi? here's mr. comey's response. he was an extraordinarily experienced person and so reasonably should be assumed to understand you can't lie to the fbi. second, it's not protocol. the fbi
